Sklar Alar Cartilage Scissors, Curved
A curved, sharp scissors used to trim and shape alar cartilage during rhinoplasty and other nasal surgical procedures. It is stocked by hospitals and clinics performing this type of procedure.
The Sklar Alar Cartilage Scissors is a fine surgical scissors designed for cutting and shaping the alar cartilage of the nose, most commonly during rhinoplasty and other nasal reconstructive procedures. Measuring 4-3/4 inches with a curved blade and sharp cutting edges, it is sized and shaped for the confined working space inside the nasal cavity, where the surgeon needs to make controlled, incremental cuts to refine cartilage contour without disturbing surrounding soft tissue.
The curved profile follows the natural anatomy of the nasal cartilage, helping the surgeon trim along a curved line rather than a straight one. Plastic and ENT surgeons performing rhinoplasty and septal work rely on scissors purpose-built for cartilage rather than general tissue scissors, since cartilage requires a sharper, more precise cutting edge.
This is a single fixed configuration listing and is typically stocked as part of a dedicated rhinoplasty or nasal surgery instrument tray.
